Maybe, you might want to check and see if you have the following files,

    * usr/lib/kde3/libkdeprint_cups.la
    * usr/lib/kde3/libkdeprint_cups.so
    * usr/share/apps/kdeprint/plugins/cups.print

This comes from;
http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/VII.cups-help/VII.cups-help.html
which can help you figure out the problem better then me.

In addition you may need to also check;
http://www.linuxprinting.org/direct-doc.html and download and use the
foomatic-rip and foomatic-gswapper scripts(steps 5 and 6) as per the
directions. You might want to check and see if you have the
qtcups-2.0-15.i386.rpm package installed also.
